Thank you for the reply and the well thought-out example. This is a good point on garbage in => garbage out as someone else said. Interestingly, the opposite may be true for newer languages: I wrote my frontend in dart over three years in a very C way where getters and setters are just functions. However, after introducing LLMs to my codebase, it started using `get`s and `set`s keywords (which is the newer way). I have a question on personal preference: as an engineer yourself and you were in my shoes, would you prefer newer style > consistency (i.e., I should refactor my 50k LOC codebase) or the opposite (i.e., correct the LLM to use my style)?

For something that size, I'd prefer consistency, unless the original style is too idiosyncratic, like the fabled "writing Fortran in Perl".

Thank you! Never heard that idiom but caused me to go into a rabbit hole researching Fortran haha
